Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRemi Mommsen is a Senior Software Engineer C++ with 12 years of experience building and operating high-throughput, low-latency data-acquisition systems for major particle physics experiments including CMS, ATLAS, BABAR and DØ. Based in Geneva, he combines deep domain expertise in trigger/DAQ architecture, FPGA and hardware integration with hands-on C++ systems engineering—leading the CMS event-builder that assembles 100 kHz at 200 GB/s and managing DAQ upgrade projects for Run 3 and the HL‑LHC. He has a strong track record of upgrading and running critical detector components, automating large-scale processing pipelines, and optimizing multithreaded, lock‑free code for modern CPU and network stacks. At Zurich Instruments he now architects cross-layer solutions spanning software, hardware and FPGA for next‑gen measurement instruments. Colleagues rely on him for operational leadership—he has long served as an on‑call DAQ expert and driven replacement of complex legacy monitoring systems—and he maintains several HEP software packages on macOS, reflecting a blend of experimental physics insight and production-grade engineering.
